Ken Paxton Supporters Revert to Name Calling When Shown Paxton’s Vote to Mandate Smart Meter Fee for ALL Texans

previous article:

Fact: Texas Attorney General Candidates Ken Paxton and Dan Branch voted in 2005 to FORCE Texans to get a Smart Meter and FORCED Texans to pay for them. The laws they voted to approve reveal the shocking truth that even they cannot deny. They passed laws that specifically forced the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) to implement Smart Meters and to create a fee for Texans to pay for them. Texas Attorney General Candidate Barry Smitherman is the only candidate in the race who has listened to the outcry from conservatives and in response, has teamed up with conservatives in the Texas Legislature, like State Rep. David Simpson, to try to amend the law and make Smart Meters optional instead of mandatory.

Obama Administration to give Americans running head start before enforcing the Individual Mandate

Still unwilling to admit that the launch of Healthcare.gov has been an embarrassing failure, the White House has announced that the penalty for not purchasing health insurance may be delayed “by up to six weeks.” This means that we have another few weeks before we’re forced into what has become the most visible vehicle for government overreach since the New Deal.

After three years, Obamacare still isn’t ready for primetime; in fact, after hundreds of millions of dollars the

Texas Propositions! What to do?

Issues: 

It's time again to see if we agree with what special interests have pushed through the Texas legislature. Just because the proposed Constitutional amendments passed the legislature is not a reason to automatically vote “yes”. An important Texas Constitutional check is that of the people having to approve Texas Constitutional amendments. Without getting into a huge amount of details, below are my recommendations for the Texas Propositions (YES on 1-2, 4-5, 9, and NO on 3, 6-7-8). At the bottom of this is a meta-list that contains recommendations from an assortment of conservative groups and individuals.

(VIDEO) Saturday Night Live Skewers Obamacare Website Glitches

Issues: 

In a hilarious cold open sketch of last night's Saturday Night Live, Kate McKinnon, playing Secretary of Health Kathleen Sebelius, provides some friendly tips for troubleshooting all of the technical problems people have been experiencing with the Obamacare website.

The Passage of the Water Resources Reform and Development Act is a Victory for Texans

Last week, the House passed the Water Resources Reform and Development Act (WRDAA). The passage of this bipartisan bill is a victory for North Texas families because it will help strengthen our economy, spur job creation, and promote America’s competitiveness. Specifically, WRRDA authorizes key missions of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to develop and maintain our waterways, streamlines permitting processes, and expands public-private partnerships.

WHY THE OBSESSION WITH OBAMA? What is wrong with us?

Issues: 

Why are we so obsessed with Obama? We all know he is destroying America; the proof is all around us, so why do we have to know why? We all know he is dividing America, so why don’t we try to unite? We all know he is destroying the family. We all know he is pro abortion and same sex marriage. So why do so many people defend his Christianity? Shouldn’t we try harder at defending and practicing our faith?

Biggest county GOP in Texas embraces "Big Data"

Issues: 

The Harris County GOP has acquired rVotes - a perfected version of Voter Action Network (owned by Democrats) and sold to Harris County by the original co-creator of the monster organizing tool.

Local Republicans are no longer resisting technological advancement, but are embracing new communications strategies as a key component of amplifying the consistent Republican message of faith, jobs, and strong defense. Read more about Biggest county GOP in Texas embraces "Big Data"

Rep. Stockman: September brings fourth-worst Obama Failometer Score - Black Unemployment Still Higher than under Bush

The following press release was sent to me from Texas Congressman Steve Stockman:

WASHINGTON - The nation's economy continues to flounder and full recovery appears even further away, according to an objective mathematical measurement of the nation's economic indicators released Tuesday by Congressman Steve Stockman (R-Texas 36.)

The economy continues to fail to recover under Obama as Obama Failometer Score stood at 1,173 last month. This is the fourth-worst Obama's Failometer score this year.

Bipartisan Bill Reduces Frivolous Patent Lawsuits

I joined House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte yesterday in introducing legislation that reduces abusive litigation practices that plague our patent system. The bipartisan Innovation Act (H.R. 3309) builds on reforms that were made last Congress in the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act, which I authored and President Obama signed into law. The Innovation Act addresses the problem of patent trolls, who file frivolous lawsuits based on weak patents in order to force settlements outside of court.

Texas Voter Poll: Barry Smitherman Has Higher Favorability Percentage and Leads Attorney General Race vs. Paxton and Branch

Issues: 

I was doing some research this week regarding the upcoming 2014 Texas Attorney General Republican Primary Election and came across a professional survey that was released a couple of months ago. I was surprised that I had not seen any coverage of this poll. The results were pretty clear cut. Barry Smitherman leads Ken Paxton and Dan Branch in both favorability and who Texas voters would elect for Texas Attorney General if the election were to be held now. Below are the highlights from the poll: Read more about Texas Voter Poll: Barry Smitherman Has Higher Favorability Percentage and Leads Attorney General Race vs. Paxton and Branch
